Serve Immediately: Crispy fries are best served fresh. If you want to keep them crispy for longer, place them on a wire rack instead of paper towels to allow air circulation.
Storage: Store any leftover fries in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven to retain their crispiness.
Variations:
Sweet Potato Fries: Try using sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a healthier twist.
Seasoned Fries: Add your favorite seasonings to the fries before frying. Garlic powder, paprika, or rosemary are excellent choices.
Spicy Fries: Sprinkle chili powder or cayenne pepper on your fries for a spicy kick.
FAQ:
